Today is the infamous 10.10 mobile shopping day. And while you can get great deals and discounts on products and items, just take a minute to consider our culture of spur-of-the-moment, impulsive, and recreational shopping. There’s a growing mindfulness movement, and being more mindful can also extend to shopping habits. If you’re shopping out of boredom, here are some suggestions for activities to alleviate your boredom.

The Mid-Autumn Festival lands on 24 Sep (Monday). That means there will be lantern processions happening this weekend. Some of the larger gatherings include the Lantern Walkabout at Esplanade (as part of Moonfest) on Saturday evening, and the Mass Lantern Walk at Chinatown on Sunday evening.

The Singapore Grand Prix returns for another year. As usual, there are a few hidden locations where you can catch parts of the race without spending a dime. For those not into racing, there are other great events this week, including Gardeners’ Day Out, NKF Sit-a-thon, Ice Cream Sundays, and World Clean-up Day.
